        Fury Road was a Mad Max film that came out a few years ago. It was a great movie, not only for the story, but also for the effects. Its scale was massive.

        In the months and years immediately following Fury Road, it was heralded as a turning point in cinema that rejected CGI in favor of practical effects. It was cast as a rejection of CGI and a return to classic practical effects. In recent years, however, we’ve started to reject that narrative. If you watch the movie closely, you realize it is chock-full of CGI. We just never noticed because it was done so well, and the way it was effortlessly folded into practical elements made the CGI extremely immersive. I think the lesson we all learned was that CGI, when complemented with seamless practical effects, makes for a killer visual experience.
